LAHORE: Captain Muneefa Ali’s brilliant half-century led Invisibles to a 6-wicket win over Strikers in the 11th match of the 2026 National Women’s T20 at the Ghani Class Cricket Ground.
Strikers skipper Nashra Sandhu’s decision to bat first backfired as they could muster 161/7 in 20 overs despite Alia Riaz’s blitz.
The middle-order scored 47 runs off 27 balls with 6 fours and a six.
Apart from him, the opening pair of Sadaf Shams (33) and Dua Majid (30), and fellow middle-order batsman Saira Zabeen (21) made significant contributions.
Momina Riyasad took 3 wickets for just 20 runs in her four overs, Saima Malik took 2 wickets and Dayaba Imdad took one wicket.
Chasing a modest target of 162 runs, the Invisibles easily cruised to victory with 4 wickets and nine balls to spare.
Leading the way for them was their captain Muneeba, who scored a 55-ball 90 with 16 fours and was adjudged man of the match.
He was supported by fellow opener Gul Beroza and middle order batsman Iram Javed who scored 23 and 34 runs respectively.
Tasmiya Rupab and Rabia Rani took 2 wickets each for the Strikers side.
The win marked the unbeaten’s sixth win in as many matches and cemented their position at the summit of the National Women’s T20 tournament 2026, while it marked the Strikers’ third defeat in four games.
